The Government recognise that some parents want their children to be educated in a school with a particular faith ethos. Pupils who follow a particular faith can be accommodated in the state sector. As I have said, all children of compulsory school age are entitled to a state-funded school place if they need one, and all schools must comply with their obligations under the Equality Act 2010. In addition, schools are expected to promote fundamental British values, including the values of mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs.
